<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">home to some mongolian nomads</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for gobi that I've seen before include "Arid region in central Asia, and 38 across" , "The . . . . Desert is a barren plateau of S Mongolia and N China" , "vast arid expanse" , "Dry spot" , "Large desert plateau of southern Mongolia and northern China" .)
